Are down pillows hypoallergenic?

Yes, down pillows are hypoallergenic. Down refers to the soft feathers found beneath the outer feathers of ducks or geese. These feathers have undergone extensive cleaning and processing to remove any impurities that could cause allergies. Down pillows are also typically covered in tightly woven fabric to prevent the escape of allergens. Additionally, hypoallergenic treatments are often applied to the pillows to further minimize the risk of allergies. However, it is important to note that individual sensitivities may vary, and some people may still have allergic reactions. To ensure maximum comfort, it is advisable to check the product details and choose a down pillow specifically labeled as hypoallergenic, and if unsure, consult with a healthcare professional before making a purchase.
